Face of Evil (1996) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)GROWING PAIN's Tracey Gold gets to bear her fangs as a psychotic young woman who kills people and takes their identities. Her latest: she kills a young college student and assumes her place at a ritzy little college where she sets her sights on her roomie's hunky and rich dad.
Gold is quite good in the role, and she gets good support from Perry King as the dad and Shawnee Smith (SAW movies) as her goody two shoes roommate.
It's all been done before but Gold is so despicable, you want to see her get her just desserts...but...no spoiler here!

History -- Shootout North Hollywood Shootout Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Unlike Mr Pixley's review i can say this is neither very good nor very accurate.
Yes it does tell the story of that infamous day in broad strokes, but ask yourself a question before you click the buy now button.
Surely when you part with hard earned cash you want an accurate documentary on the event right?
Im afraid you will only get a sloppily researched offering with this purchase, spruced up with some nice graphics to make it look credible.
For anyone with a knowledge of this event beyond the wikipedia entry you will find soon see the mistakes and contradictions in the timeline that is offered.
It is a pity that as a supposed impartial documentary that they did not explore the issue of one of the gunmen's deaths, or document at all any of the court cases, etc that came after the shooting stopped.
Worthy of purchasing only for the officers oral histories.

Biography -- Jeffrey Dahmer -- The Monster Within Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A lot has changed since 1992, when Dahmer was arrested. There have been serial killers who had more victims. In DC, people feared that they could die at the gas station. All hearts have gone out to the victims of Columbine, 9/11, Virginia Tech, etc. Don't get me started on the homophobic way that the press dubbed Andrew Cunanan "Dahmer Part Two." Still, the issues presented here are still fascinating.
I give a lot of credit to Dahmer's father Lionel. One would think that most fathers of murderers wouldn't reveal their heads in public. However, Dr. Dahmer attended the trial and visited his son in prison regularly. He wrote an wonderful book about his ordeal which was turned into a mediocre, low-budget film. He is interviewed here and you can really feel his humanity, shock, and embarassment.
This documentary includes the sistah who screams in court, "Jeffrey! I hate you!!!!" It's still powerful, and makes me teary, almost two decades later. This documentary asserts what Dahmer himself did: he didn't target a race, but a body type. Still, when 12 out of 17 victims of a non-black murderer are black, I can't help if some type of oppression is being enacted. What is this nation saying to Black gay men if a dozen of them can be murdered and no one knows about it until much later?
There are some bad fictional films on Dahmer made and I prefer this documentary to them. Because Dahmer suffered from severe alcoholism, I wonder if this work would be of interest to alcoholics and their loved ones.
